I tried a recipe from Bon Appetit for "Salt and Pepper Pork with Rice Cakes". While it didn't scream Authentically Korean, it did look good (and easy) and I do love Korean rice cakes, so we gave it a shot. Couldn't be easier: soak the rice cakes while you saute pork, ginger, garlic and scallions; season with a little soy sauce and sesame oil, add the rice cakes and that's it. I did add some broccoli to make it a full meal (spinach or asparagus would also have been good). I also added a little sriracha and a tiny bit of brown sugar. This was so good! Even Carter (begrudgingly) said "that was actually good, Mom". Coming from a surly teen boy, that's a five star review. The rice cakes were perfectly chewy and I don't know if it makes a difference that we grind the pork ourselves, but I like to think that it does.
